Armenian president wants constructive talks in Kazan

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan has met the Secretary General of the
Council of Europe, Thorbjorn Jagland, at the third day of the PACE
session. Sargsyan said that he wants a constructive dialogue, Trend
reports.

The Armenian president believes that there are good conditions for
approval of the final principles for settling the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. The summit in Kazan may bring positive results. The OSCE
Minsk Group has been a good format for settling the conflict.

Concerning Turkish-Armenian relations, Sargsyan said that their
normalization started 2 years ago and that protocols had been signed.

The talks have reached a dead end. Turkey refuses to recognize the
genocide of the Armenian population. Such a position makes
ratification of the protocols impossible, the president said.
